Leasing a new Audi A4 - AudiDoDat?

[Andrew Fletcher <FLETCHA@citec.qld.gov.au>]

Hi all,

Yes, back from hols and interested to see the recent discussion on the
price of a new A4 in the USA. Just shows how much tax we pay on 
new cars here in Australia. A new A4  **starts** at $46,000AUS, thats
about $36,800USD currently. BTW a new A8 4.2 quattro comes in at
$195,000AUS.

Anyhow enuff of that what I really would like to know is what leasing an
Audi is all about in the states... it is only just beginning to catch on here in
Oz. Personal I mean not company leasing thats been around for a while.
Does it work on a 2 year, 70% residual at 12% type arrangement. 

I would like to move to the US as per previous posts and we will prob
just pick up a pre '85 Audi for under $4K for the first 6 months, but if
leasing is cheap enuff we might just go for a new A4 straight away???

Anyone in OZ, my newly aquired urQ would be up for sale *sob* very
shortly if the offer in the USA is too tempting but I'll list it here first, just
some prior warning.

Please reply directly to fletcha@citec.qld.gov.au
